2) Buy Bits n Bobs items and sell them

The items are very cheap and sell for a much higher price. So bulk buy and save them up till you have 1000+. Then advertise in trade chat.

3) Train and power level to level 15

When you're level 15, you can travel which is very important. You will be able to buy items overseas and sell them back in Torn for a profit. You can also rehab to get rid of your drug addiction.

4) Flower/Plushie Run

Once you can travel, buy and sell flowers/plushies. You can buy a large suitcase which allows you to carry 4 more items.

5) Rent a PI and buy a bazaar

Once you have enough money, you should a bazaar (cost 250 points). A bazaar is very useful, you can list items you want to sell with the price and quantity. When you can afford to, rent a PI with an airstrip. The airstrip reduces flying times by 30% and allows you to carry 10 more items. You must hire a pilot for the airstrip to take effect.

6) IRC

IRC is a great place to chat and win lottos/giveaways.

7) Donator Pack

After renting a PI and buying a bazaar. You will need donator status which comes from using a donator pack. You can obtain them by buying them from the item market using in game money or buying them with real life cash. Donator status gives you a cap of 150 energy and you regenerate energy every 10 minutes instead of 15.

You can buy a large bazaar(...)" (4º Step)
Something seems wrong here.

Info is okay but some of the things your suggesting is not sound advice. I would never suggest to new player to slut unless desperate for money. Which really isn't needed in the early stages of the game.


There's also nothing about buying a donator pack, it's crucial to be donator early on. Training also seems neglected in entire guide. Just seems to focus on money too much. The reality is with 200k macana is all u really need to start game and mansion rental.


There's also no mention of crime. So many newb think that is the way to get money.


I rated down mainly because it's very incomplete the links in it are very good but really just regurgitated info.

Added a donator section and money is very important in the beginning of the game. If you slut during the first day, you will have enough money for a weapon, a good rental, lots of meds and drugs.

I can slut 3-4 times (use 75e - 100e) and have enough cash to buy a xanax (gives 250e).

New players won't have enough CE to be able to do money making crimes...

This guide is just to give newbs a good headstart.

This is pretty much just a short version of this thread:
New Players money making guide

saw the guide after i made my thread :3

Of course you do

Peace disliked your post.

Bwahahaha

yay thats my guide!!!!

energy is worth far more than tc play money.

surely only the truly desperate who lack imagination and cheating multies have to slut?

i actually meant to downvote... i don't lack imagination and don't cheat with multies, and i slutted for 18m total when i first joined

So for 18 million you can lose 3000e (20 refills).


Equivalently a dp for $5 (real money) could have gotten you 24 million. An FHC goes for 12.5 million, that's 150e. 9 Tourine cans would cost closer to 20 million, that's 180e.


3000e vs 150e vs 180e there's a reason e is worth so much money. Slutting stunts growth and $5 real money will get u a better return on your investment.


I just can't understand how anyone can say this is beneficial. It's very bad advice.
